i think im looking at some 19 X 8.5 rims, but they the company im looking at says 30mm offset, that doesnt sound right to me. So my question is, what is the best offset for our rides

here is a pic....

if you want a lip.... you will need to move up in numbers...

:PROJECT::dumpTT:

well the pix of the rims show a lip. So im guesing i should just call them

TTinCT

offset for the fronts specifically to insure no rubbing...

:PROJECT::dumpTT:

so ya, im back at square one now, i dont know what offset to have

TTinCT

Decide on a lip depth, and then you can determine offset.

:PROJECT::dumpTT:

well im looking for a 2-2.5 inch lip, so... ya, how should i find the right offset

TTinCT

so convert inches to MM....then your add that coverted number to the offset example of 30 mm...and it should give you a rough idea....

You really should discuss your "wants" with a wheel pro...Tirerack is good...call them...tell them what you want...and they can probably tell you pretty closely, what the offset should be...
IMO

cool, i will go that rought

that's what it says on the wheel. small lip..maybe about 1.75" or so. meem says that spacers are still required...3mm up front and 10 in the back.
